2 Corinthians 10:2

2I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.

2I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I intend to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

2I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

2I ask that when I do come I will not be driven to the boldness that I intend to show toward those few who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh [like men without the Spirit].

2I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.

2I am coming to see you. Please don’t make me be as bold as I expect to be toward some people. They think that I live the way the people of this world live.
